Thanks for pointing that out. I had the same problems as you, but didn't realize until recently that it was a bug with Rox-Filer. I always released the focus by left-clicking on a blank area of the window.

Updating Rox-Filer to Barry's suggested version, should fix the focus problem with the Open-as-text option. But for, me the focus remains on the selected file, when I choose the "Open With" option. rox_filer-201012git-patched.pet.

I remember saying somewhere in this thread that I was not going to be updating this version of Solidpup anymore.
Well ... err, I changed my mind. I have posted a new version today with quite a few bug fixes and updates.
I will put out a list of the changes later, as I have to go to work soon.

The download link is on the first page, and links to older versions have been removed to reduce confusion.
For now I have put out the Lite version for testing. I have called it a beta version, but it has improved over any other previous versions, IMO.
A non-Lite version will be released at a later time, when this "5.1.1-B" series goes out of beta.

...BTW, I have a version of your older work on my hard drive here, labeled "Solid511-std-ed.iso" but other than that I know little of it. I did use it on a system, but I don't remember exactly when it was installed._________________

Okay, it's later.... Ran well from live CD, (old-ish laptop, Celeron M), I like the red screen for the boot options, nice change.

Internet connection worked first time, no problems, Dillo too.

Openbox config hung. Showed the frame but no options, white space inside box. 'Themes' was illuminated, but didn't respond, neither did any of the other options. Clicked the'X' to close the window and it came to life, options etc started working... okay after that. Good to see some new themes included...

I'll try frugal install later, need to walk the other pup in my life, right now.

Good job. Thank you.

(Sorry if this feedback sucks, I never did it before.)

EDIT; I failed on the frugal install. I have Solid 5.1.1. frugal on sda1, so I tried this on sda2, amended grub4 to include new install but I couldn't get it to boot. Kept booting into sda1. Tried temporarily removing grub4 for my original sda1 install but same thing, wouldn't boot beta version. Probably my end, not a fault with the new version.

Starhawk, that is probably the standard version, which was made prior to the a4-beta version. Actually if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to take a look at it. Could you please upload it for me?

Sounds strange ... do you get any error messages, when you type obconf from the Terminal? If so, could you post the output for me? ( just hightlight and choose "copy" from LXTerminal, then paste in the murga message ... with a full powered browser; I don't think Dillo has copy and paste. )
The default openbox theme is one that I hacked, so maybe I screwed up somewhere.

I can confirm frugal install for Solidpup works. I usually just do a manual frugal install to a new folder with this method:

1) download the iso
2) create a new folder eg. solid511b
3) left-click on the iso to mount it and copy the 3 main files to the new folder: initrd.gz , vmlinuz, and wary_511.sfs
4) add a new menu entry to the menu.lst file or run grub4dosconfig to automatically setup the new menu entry for you

** if you have older Solidpup, Wary 5.1.1 or anything else based on Wary 5.1.1 installed, make sure you first boot in Pristine Boot mode (pfix=ram).

I get the same error messages, but obconf doesn't hang for me. I did some googling, and found some people, solved a similiar problem in Arch and Ubuntu by getting rid of some invaild themes. But I removed all, but 2 themes in the /usr/share/themes folder and still get the error message,
so I don't know what the problem is... I don't think all of the included themes are not-to-standard, but I haven't ruled out that possiblility. I will try to dig a little deeper, but at this point, I am not sure what the solution would be.

I will check out the older Solidpup and Lucid, which also has openbox, and see if the error messages are present there.
